Tango and Health (week 7)

I was sort of surprised after watching the link from ABC News in Australia about the recent medical breakthroughs in relation to Tango dancing and health benefactors.  We had talked a little bit about these new studies and findings in class.  From the story linked in the email we received, I learned much deeper detail about exactly how Parkinson's disease patients are being encouraged to try the Tango.  It provides not only an outside support group, but also helps patients deal with their mental health from being on all of the medicines.  I am excited and interested in where these studies will go once more information is gathered to predict what might come next in Tango's progression into societies.
